Student-Athletes Post 9th Straight Semester With Above 3.0 GPA

AMHERST, N.Y. - Daemen College student-athletes put forth another solid effort in the classroom during the Fall 2017 semester, posting a collective grade-point average (GPA) of 3.05 - the ninth consecutive semester above 3.0.
 
Daemen, which presently sponsors 16 intercollegiate athletic programs with over 200 total student-athletes, saw 137 student-athletes individually achieve a GPA of 3.0 or higher. That represents 64 percent of Daemen's total student-athlete body. In addition, 96 student-athletes were named to the Dean's List which requires a GPA of 3.3 or higher, and seven student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA for the semester. 
 
Breaking down the numbers even further, 13 of the 16 intercollegiate programs achieved team GPAs of 3.0 or higher. The women's volleyball team (3.53) edged the men's golf team (3.45) and women's triathlon team (3.41) for the highest GPA among teams.

High-achieving student-athletes will be honored during Friday's basketball doubleheader vs. Mercy College, and at the Student-Athlete Welcome Back Luncheon set for Tuesday, Jan. 30 at Lumsden Gymnasium.
